Pulau Kundur illustrates a scenic vista featuring local settlements and foliage. The artist successfully captures how the light moves across the landscape, creating perfect contrasts of shadows of the coconut trees. A sense of peace and tranquillity on the east coast during the early hours of the day is exuded in this work.
